according to #AGT the crew has a daily creative meeting before the show even starts at around 5am in the morning EVERYDAY and Howard works sooooo hard....oh and Howard waves and talks to brown skinned people in traffic while in the limo

This suspicious renewed interest in the show that Howard and the staff now have comes off as desperate, inauthentic and embarrassing. How misguided of them to think that they could coast for years on the fumes of doctored Tradio calls and Internet clips of news reporters accidentally saying the wrong word, then suddenly put in the job's required effort, and have it be just like the good old days again. They're out of practice, unsure of the Howard Stern Show brand (Can we make gay jokes again? Celebrity jokes? Black jokes? Can we use the N word???), and seemingly accepting any effort to be funny as good enough for airtime.

New bumpers. Staffers -- instead of celebrities -- now doing bumpers, poorly. Last week it was Lisa G reading a script about how wacky she is for believing she has D cups. Then Ronnie read one about how seniors can still have fun. Sal did one this week about not letting your kids watch piss porn. And they have a series now where announcers describe the Howard Stern show in Spanish, which seems like a rehash of a really funny '90s bit where Howard played a clip of a Chinese radio show ripping off his own.

And, most glaringly:New scripted monologues. Each line delivered as though Howard's reading it for the first time, and punctuated with Howard's own laugh when he actually gets the joke. Robin still isn't sure when he's reading punchlines, and tramples accordingly. Howard has the showmanship of an elementary school kid doing a book report in front of the class -- not that the shitty material would be any better in the hands of someone more capable ...

Ive given up on the hope that one day the show will get it's mojo back. Howard is simply too old, too married, too insecure, too afraid of being sued, too cheap, too bald, too starstruck, too politically correct and too phoney to ever be that crazy bad ass shock jock we all grew up listening too.
